Yellow-crested Manakin

The Yellow-crested Manakin is a Passeriforme of the family Pipridae.

Characteristics

It is 14 cm long. The male is dark olive above with a yellow crown patch (often concealed). It has a white throat above a dark olive band below which the breast is chestnut becoming paler below. The female is similar but has a grey rather than white throat and lacks the crown patch.

Food

It eats both insects and small fruits but is more insectivorous than most manakins.

Breeding

The male defends its breeding territory with pursuit flights and displays. Courtship includes bending forward with flared throat feathers and cocked and spread tail all being quivered for about a second.

Habits

It is found in seasonally flooded forest (várzea) and gallery forest along blackwater streams and ox-bow lakes.

Distribution

Amazônia brasileira ao norte do Rio Amazonas, nas bacias dos rios Negro e Branco (Amazonas e Roraima), com registros esparsos para leste até o baixo Rio Trombetas. Encontrado também na Venezuela e Colômbia.
